blue Posted 16 July , 2004 Share Posted 16 July , 2004 Was it only officers who were entitled to wear minatures or were O Rs eligible to wear them as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnreed Posted 16 July , 2004 Share Posted 16 July , 2004 Miniture Medals are normally worn with Mess Kit, therefore they would be worn either by Officers or Senior NCO's. There would normally no need for OR's to possess them as they would wear their issued medals. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 16 July , 2004 Share Posted 16 July , 2004 Miniature medals were entirely unofficial and sold by military tailors. As has been mentioned above, they would normally have been worn with mess dress, but there was nothing to stop anyone purchasing and wearing them when they liked.

johnreed Posted 16 July , 2004 Share Posted 16 July , 2004 Terry Of course, but with the proviso that they were entitled to wear them. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCLI Posted 16 July , 2004 Share Posted 16 July , 2004 I have my granfathers original miniatures (originals full-size medals lost/stolen). I guess he could have worn them to the British Legion or wherever, without ripping his jacket to bits. Regards Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
